"Will he form a covenant with you, and will you accept him as a servant forever? "
— Job 40:23, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.”
“Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not; He is confident, though a Jordan swell even to his mouth. ”
“Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn't tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.”
“If the river rages, it is not disturbed, it is secure, though the Jordan should surge up to its mouth.”
“Will he make a covenant with thee, and wilt thou take him to be a servant for ever?”
“Truly, if the river is overflowing, it gives him no cause for fear; he has no sense of danger, even if Jordan is rushing against his mouth.”
“Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.”
Can you draw out the leviathan with a hook, and can you bind his tongue with a cord?
Can you place a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with an arm band?
Will he offer many prayers to you, or speak to you quietly?
Will he form a covenant with you, and will you accept him as a servant forever?
Will you play with him as with a bird, or tether him for your handmaids?
Will your friends cut him into pieces, will dealers distribute him?
Will you fill up bags with his hide, and let his head be used as a home for fishes?
